88 Flak is a fast-paced combat mod for the 3D action game Freelancer by Digital Anvil. It aims to bring quick and brutal arena-like combat to Freelancer with Unreal Tournament 2004 style speed and years of refined Team Fortress inspired class balancing. In addition, it aims to expand the gameplay experience with numerous new features, including docking on player Battleships (use teammates as mobile bases), purchasable stations (private bases that shoot at hostile NPCs and players), hiring AI wingmen, dynamic AI routines (88 Flak's AI is hailed to be the best in Freelancer), ability to script story missions in multiplayer (extremely beta), AI Bots (persistent NPCs with their own reputations and loadouts), and full customization via a Freelancer Mods Manager script with configurable client-side and server-side options such as advanced graphics/audio and more.

Happy 2007 everyone, hope you all had a fun and safe new years. I personally spent the night with some friends, and while we didn't party hard, it was a good time. =P To be honest Flak testing has, like, not happened. I've done a few tweaks here and there, and tested some, however I have had

To be honest Flak testing has, like, not happened. I've done a few tweaks here and there, and tested some, however I have had practically no time for Flak between work and visiting out-of-state reletives (fun stuff). To the best of my knowledge, no-one else had much time to test either. It was not in vein though, because there was one night where 2 people and I found and crushed a rather large bug - a mistake on my part that caused NPCs to only spawn around one player at a time, a side-effect of the new AI companion bots for solo-play. Flak in general is looking quite stable and ready for release, which I'll consider after the 24/7 server is worked out.

Well, I'm out. Gotta drag my lazy bum out of bed for school tomarrow morning. Hurrah. At least I don't have class until 9:20 AM, but still. Urgh.
